@ Pamela
It was early in the evening. The darkness is deep at that time, not like a black wall, like it will be around midnight. Very cold it was. Ppl went home from work to indoor activities. The lights came on in the buildings like christmas trees being lit up. The streets became very quiet, while I stood there.
In the morning I thought I had too much clothes on, but standing there in the evening i really appreciated it

@ Scott
Oh yes Mondrian: Coloured squares of all sizes framed by black lines! That pattern really appealed to me

And you´re right about Paul Klee too Scott. Copenhagen was very expressionistic yesterday evening

It was a wonderful walk. It´s not often that the streets are all yours on a friday night

@ Angeliki
Aww yo´re too good to me Angeliki

. I´m a great great admirer of Michael Kenna. He has always been such an inspiration to me. His silent worlds.Wow. Some of his photos is the manifested silence.
His stillness I´ve tried to use many times in my paintings

@ Tilla
Thanks Tilla. It was easy...Copenhagen was a beauty, yesterday evening

Lucky you Angeliki. I hope one day they´ll make an exhibition At the Loisiana Modern Art Museum here in Denmark.
I think artists that work a lot and like the proces of working has an easy way to applaud other artists

Gustav Klimt. That's the artist I was trying to remember. He is noted for his jewel-like backgrounds in his paintings of people.

Here's one of Klimt's I was thinking of:
